What we don´t do
We don´t polarize We don´t look for conflict We don´t make a big deal out of
ethicity We don´t treat people as victims
What we do
We always ask for people’s own solutions
”Personally I believe that Södra Sidan in the years to come will be regarded as the most important contribution ever to social and ethnic integration in our local community.”
